Using distress micro glaze as resist

Hello and welcome,
After watching Tim Holtz FB live demo's with great interest I decided to try the technique using distress micro glaze as resist. If you want to watch his demo's you can find them on his blog HERE.

So I took my distress micro glaze and used it with my distress tool through the stencils schoolhouse and industrial on distress mixed media heavystock. I then sprayed with weathered wood, tea dye and pumic stone distress oxide sprays, sprayed with water and used my heat tool to dry everything. The glaze resist the oxide spray, very cool! I added a touch of ripe persimmon distress oxide ink using the distress tool on a few areas and again sprayed with water and heat dried. I made som splotches using distress oxide spray ground espresso. I then used my distress tool and distress ink ground espresso around the edges but decided it looked too plain so added black sooth distress crayons around the edges as well. I almost always use my fingers to apply distress crayons. I decided to use my background to make a card and to use more orange, a colour that I hardly every use.

To make the stars I die cut the big star die in chipboard. Covered the stars completely in black gesso. I then painted them using ripe persimmon distress paint but wiped off some of the paint using a dry cloth before it dried and then sprayed them using tea dye distress oxide spray and quite a lot of water and put them aside to dry. Just love the way they turned out.

I die cut the big circle from the steampunk die and covered it with black gesso. I then painted it with ground espresso distress paint and wiped off with cloth before spraying them with tea dye distress oxide spray, lots of water and let dry. I then used tea dye and rusty hinge distress crayons. I did the same to the bolts. The small circle is painted with ripe persimmon distress paint and finished with a touch of black sooth distress crayons.

The metal stars are covered with distress collage medium matte and then ripe persimmon distress paint and then used some black sooth distress crayon. The black numbers in the upper right corner is a remnant rub.

The background is matted on to a black kraft panel with sanded edges. I then have another kraft panel in a greenish colour with sanded edges and then corrugated packing painted with ripe persimmon distress paint and the base is black kraft with sanded edges.

Thanks for the visit
